Chapter 281: The Return of the King (6)
"Oh, Jaylen is actually provoking Lin, he is a little disrespectful to seniors!" Bill Walton said with a smile. This is the correct battle between the first and second in the Eastern Conference. Everyone must be full of passion.
Rachel frowned when she heard this: "Senior..., Lin seems to be only in the second grade! Is he a senior?"
"Of course, if you are one older, you are also a senior. If you are provoked, you have to be beaten back."
Of course, Lin Sen made this preparation. He went straight into the inside and asked for the ball. Before Lin Sen could get the ball, the double team on the opposite side had already come very strongly. In the previous second quarter, after Lin Sen received the ball at this position, he usually passed an assist to let his teammates score. This time he did not, because the double team was Jaylen Brown.
After receiving the ball, he took a step back and went outside, which made many people confused. You finally got to the position, and then you started running out. What operation? Jaylen Brown followed directly to defend.
Without hesitation, Lin Sen directly moved one step back and took the jump shot directly. This operation was much more sensible than before. The position of the step back directly opened a big step away, which made Jaylen Brown completely helpless Lin Sen, who was almost 1 meter away from him.
Mid-range shot hit! Lin Sen's mid-range shot has begun to become more and more stable, although in this league, mid-range shot has become a scoring method that is increasingly unrecognized by everyone. There are only two points, not many points, and the shooting percentage is also not high compared to layups.
However, Lin Sen's offensive method seems difficult to become a very effective offensive method, but it becomes particularly efficient in Lin Sen's hands. Lin Sen's mid-range shot was already 4 of 6 shots in a game, and most of them were not open positions, but had some difficulty to complete these movements.
After this goal, Lin Sen unexpectedly did not squirt trash words at Jaylen Brown, a young man. He just smiled and looked at Jaylen Brown. Although he didn't say a word, everyone could see what Lin Sen meant: "Brother, you are much younger than me. Practice again and again and challenge me."
Linsen began to dominate both offense and defense again, which made people feel that they were in the first quarter, but the Celtics finally regained the feeling of their team. The Pacers' defense is very strong, with Linsen, George, CJ Myers, and now all three of them are here. Their defense is very good, but now the Celtics have strengthened their offense in the team.
They passed continuously and then played a very beautiful cooperation. Horford matched the central axis and cover very well. Thomas Jr. began to complete the task assigned to them by the coach at the beginning, which was to score.
He took action outside the three-point line again and again. Linson and George's two defenders were always stuck outside by the Celtics. Thomas Jr. is the kind of player who can score with only a little space. Moreover, he has always done a good job in assisting.
The pass was directly given to Bradley, who was also a very good three-pointer. The Celtics were not a three-pointer team, but in this game, under the Pacers' strict defense, they threw many fairy balls.
"Hey, hey! This ball is in again. What's the situation? Did the Celtics collectively install scopes in the second half tonight? As long as there is a little chance, they will take action very resolutely, and these resolute actions have all turned into scoring. Their efficiency is too terrifying!" Bill Walton was a little unbelievable about the offensive efficiency of this Celtics.
When McMillan saw these fairy-like three-pointers, he had no choice but to see that his players were at any stage of defense, but the opponent could make a shot.
Fortunately, the Pacers' attack on this side was not something that the opponent could stop. Lin Sen and George were also gods in front of the opponent, with mid-range shots and breakthroughs, but the scores were inevitably brought closer, especially in the middle of the fourth quarter, Lin Sen and George went down to rest together and were beaten by the Celtics 11:4 and directly overtook the score.
"This Celtic team is very resilient! They don't have superstars, but they are a whole. Maybe that's why both the Warriors and the Cavaliers have lost to them. It seems that the reorganized Pacers will find it difficult to escape this fate." Bill Walton began to frown at the game that is currently ongoing, and he began to worry about the Pacers who are fighting at home.
"This is not necessarily the case. The game has entered the last 5 minutes, and this will be the time when superstars dominate the arena."
Bill Walton was about to refute, and Lin Sen directly broke through Horford on the outside. He just went down to rest for about two minutes and asked him to fill up his energy again. He directly broke through Horford head-on, but he did not break through to the final position. He directly chose to jump shot at the position of the bull horn position. He hit, but still shot in the mid-range shot, and was still stable. This move has become Lin Sen's killer weapon.
Compared with other players like Cousins who also like to break through from the three-point line, who want to compare with other players like Downs, Lin Sen's direct breakthrough mid-range shots are not available to them, so when defending other centers to break through, you can relax and wait for the last layup.
But it is not possible to face Lin Sen. Every point in this breakthrough route is Lin Sen's attack point. He can directly complete the emergency stop of the central investment at any point.
"Okay! I think you're saying something makes sense, but now the Pacers are 3 points behind. Lin has scored 36 points tonight, and Paul George also scored 27 points. The two of them have scored more than half of the Pacers' score, but the support provided by the other Pacers is far from enough for this competition for the first place in the Eastern Conference. Lin and Paul's physical strength are also a problem." Bill Walton stopped his rebuttal. He believed that the last moment would become the stage for Linson and George, but he did not think that if the Pacers would win, basketball is not a sport that can be decided by one or two people.
"The two minutes of rest just now are enough!" Rachel looked at Lin Sen with trust. Because Lin Sen told him before the game that he would return as the king in this game.
